PLOW.-

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,383, dated November25, 1884.

Application filed August 18, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANTON SOHINDLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Weimar, in the county of Colorado and State of Texas, haveinvented a new and useful Plow, of which the following is 'aspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention has relation to plows; and it consists in theconstruction and novel arrange ment of parts, as will be hereinafterfully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims. V

Figure 1 is a View in perspective of a double-mold-board plow embodyingmy improvements. Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of the plow with themold-board removed. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section throughthe beam. Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the doubleniold-board plow. Fig. 5is a perspective View from the rear of a single-mold-board plow, itsattaching-arm, bolts, and nuts; and Fig. 6 is a view of a shovel-plow.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates theplow-beam, and B B the handles,which are connected to the beam by around, 0, that is adjustable in the beam, and is held in place by aset-screw, D, and are connected at their lower ends to an arm, E,inclined upwardly and rearwardly from the shoe of the plow. Theplow-standard F consists of two curved arms pivoted to the plowbeam attheir upper ends, and rigidly secured to the shoe G at their lower ends.

I An adjustable brace, H, is secured at its lower end between the curvedarms of the standard F by a bolt, I, passed through an eye and securedin place by a nut. The upper end of the brace H is perforated andsecured to the under face of the plow-beam by a bolt, J, which may bepassed through either one of the perforations K of the brace H, as maybe desired. The rear end of the beam is provided on its upper face witha threaded plate, L, which is secured in place by bolts. This plateforms the bearing for the set-screw D, which bears on the round C tohold it to its adjustment. The point of the shoe is provided with aperforation, M, for the bolt N, that secures the lower portion of theplow-point to the shoe. The double-mold-board plow O is provided with ashare, P, at its point, which is secured to the under face of the doublemold-board by bolts Q passed through the mold-boards and through thearms of share 1?, and held in place by nuts. The rear portion of theshare P is provided with a recess, B, in its under face, the walls ofwhich are perforated laterally at S to receive the bolt T, that securesthe share P to the point of the shoe. The upper securingbolt, U, passesthrough the mold-board and between the curved arms of the plowstandardF, and is secured in place by a nut. By loosening the set-screw D andremoving the bolt J the plow-standard may be adjusted toregulate thepitch of the plow-point.

In attaching the single-mold-board plowpoint a brace-arm, V, isemployed, and is secured in place by a bolt, W, and nut X and the boltU. The shovel-point is secured in place by the single bolt U. The pointor share P of the double-mold-board plow is removable, and may be takenoff when desired. This plow is used between the rows of cotton or corn,and may be taken off of the standard and either the single-mold-boardplow or the shovel-plow put on in its place. By this construction andarrangement I am enabled to plow in different kinds of soil and indifferent crops by simply changing theplow-points andadjusting thestandard to regulate the pitch of the plow.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

The combination, with the pivoted adjustable plow-standard F, of thedouble-moldboard plow having recessed removable share P, and the boltsfor securing the share to the plow and the plow to the standard,substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses.

ANTON SOHINDLER.
